The Cambridge Encyclopedia is unrivalled for academic authority and comprehensiveness, as well as its style and concision. Thoroughly revised and updated, with nearly 20,000 more words, the Third Edition incorporates: * Full-colour flags for all the 203 countries of the world - including all new flags since 1994 * 24 full-colour world maps * Over 26,000 A-Z entries, with over 85,000 cross-references, 250 maps and 330 illustrations - giving unequalled coverage of biographical, scientific, geographic, historical and international issues. * A 128-page Ready Reference - presenting, in readily accessible tabular and illustrative form, over 10,000 entries. 'The work is to be praised as a triumph of publishing technology' Anthony Burgess, The Observer (on the 1st edition)
